Description

Challenge students to use factors as clues in a 3-by-2 grid. They arrange digits 0–9 to satisfy the factor relationships for five different numbers.

Why use Math Tiles?

  • Make problem solving hands-on by letting students move number tiles and test their ideas.
  • Build flexible thinking as students follow different clues and try more than one strategy.
  • Practice perseverance and build confidence by revising a choice when the first idea doesn’t fit.
  • Give students meaningful independent practice or have partners explain and compare their thinking.
  • Save paper by reusing printed cards and having students record their answers on a separate sheet.

What’s included

  • 30 printable puzzle cards
  • Google Slides version with movable number tiles
  • Student recording sheet
  • Answer keys
  • Teacher setup tips
  • Printable 0–9 number tiles

How to use it

Have students compare starting points and explain why one clue was easier to use than another. For print, cut out the included number tiles or use a set you already have. In Google Slides, students move the tiles in edit mode.

Exactly what I was looking for..

This 5th Grade Grammar Bundle from Teacher Thrive is exactly what I needed for consistent grammar instruction throughout the year! The lessons are clear, organized, and easy to incorporate into our ELA routine, and I love that the practice pages and assessments are included. The year-long format takes so much guesswork out of planning and gives students plenty of opportunities to learn, practice, and review each skill. A thorough, teacher-friendly resource that saves me a lot of prep time!

I love having language, grammar, reading, and math materials all together in one place, making it easy to reinforce important skills across the curriculum. The activities are well organized, student-friendly, and useful for whole-group lessons, independent practice, review, or extra support. Having so many resources in one bundle saves a tremendous amount of planning and prep time. A great value and a resource I can use throughout the entire school year!
